I did. He was standing in the middle of the defensive zone with a dumbfounded look as if he were trying to figure out what his position was because Olver was fighting along the boards with his man and EJ was supporting. Then EJ whipped it around the boards and Zanon watched the guy come into the crease and almost score.

probably because on HFboards, Tavares is a godly hockey player with all the potential in the world where Duchene is always brushed aside, and will never be anywhere as good as Tavares despite ridiculously similar numbers from both players.

And as much as we all b*** and complain about him, if he goes down that's another bad blow to this team this year as we have to play without Stastny and our largest "Trade Bait" goes out about 1 week from TD day

Why listen to people that don't watch hockey?
I would take Tavares over Duchene but its not as if its night and day to the extent of that statement makes it out to be though.

Meh? Its not as if anyone else is getting any attention on the team.

I am with you. I want him gone and get a defenseman back. But I am sure he'll be back. Even if not as long as it isn't a serious injury he can still be traded.
